Technical Abstract

A metal polishing liquid which contains a compound represented by the following formula (1), an aromatic heterocyclic ring compound, and an oxidizing agent, and a chemical mechanical polishing method using the metal polishing liquid. In the formula (1), R1 denotes an alkylene group, and R2 and R3 each separately denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an acyl group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, or an aryl group.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A metal polishing liquid comprising: a compound represented by the following formula (1), an aromatic heterocyclic ring compound, and an oxidizing agent: wherein R 1 denotes an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 3 each separately denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an acyl group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, or an aryl group.

2

2. The metal polishing liquid of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic heterocyclic ring compound is at least one selected from 1,2,3,4-tetrazole, 5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrazole, 5-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazole, 1,2,3-triazole, 4-amino-1,2,3-triazole, 4,5-diamino-1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, and benzotriazole.

3

3. The metal polishing liquid of claim 1 , further comprising abrasive grains.

4

4. The metal polishing liquid of claim 3 , wherein the abrasive grains are made of colloidal silica.

5

5. The metal polishing liquid of claim 1 , the liquid is used for polishing a semiconductor integrated circuit.

6

6. A chemical mechanical polishing method comprising: contacting a metal polishing liquid that comprises a compound represented by the following formula (1), an aromatic heterocyclic ring compound, and an oxidizing agent with a surface to be polished, and polishing by relatively moving the surface to be polished and a polishing surface: wherein R 1 denotes an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 3 each separately denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an acyl group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, or an aryl group.

7

7. The chemical mechanical polishing method of claim 6 , wherein the aromatic heterocyclic ring compound is at least one selected from 1,2,3,4-tetrazole, 5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrazole, 5-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazole, 1,2,3 -triazole, 4-amino-1,2,3-triazole, 4,5-diamino-1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, and benzotriazole.

8

8. The chemical mechanical polishing method of claim 6 , further comprising abrasive grains.

9

9. The chemical mechanical polishing method of claim 8 , wherein the abrasive grains are made of colloidal silica.
